Drupalcon

Trellon presented a session about Agile design techniques at Drupalcon Los Angeles which was very well received. Over 100 people were in attendance to hear Blake Maples, Mike Haggerty and Jake Tooman talk about the way we introduced Agile design within Trellon and made it work for the groups we serve.

For those of you attending Drupalcon this month - you have good taste! Show exactly how good it is by joining us for a special event to benefit the trust of Aaron Winborn, a long time Drupal contributor who has been fighting ALS for some time now.

This event is on May 20, 2013, it starts at 4:30 and will be held at the offices of EcoTrust. Their address is as follows:

After decompressing for a couple of weeks from Drupalcon Munich, some observations have filtered to the surface. This is my 10th Drupalcon. It seems to be hard to believe. I've seen changes to the demographics of the convention that I think are worth sharing.

Our age

With each week that DrupalCon Denver is coming nearer, the excitement in the community grows. At Trellon, we're not immune to that excitement, and we're proud to be a Platinum sponsor of Drupalcon Denver. We're looking forward to seeing members of the Drupal community there, both old friends and new. We're excited about the opportunity that Drupalcons give us not only to learn more about the direction of Drupal, but to help shape it. We're eager to learn what new and exciting things people around the world have been doing with Drupal.

Note: I am hosting a BoF at DrupalCon London about this: Join us in Room 333 on Thursday 25th August from 11:00 - 12:00 (second half).

Varnish and Boost are normally seen as one-or-the-other. However this does not need to be the case. This article introduces a configuration which allows any site running Boost to run Varnish additionally and make the site both much faster and much more scalable. It also allows you to make use of Boost's advanced expiration features (until the expire module is finished) and combine this with Varnish. I'll show an easy howto method for adding Varnish, and - for those being more experienced in VCL - why this works the way it does.

It's been about a week since returning from Drupalcon Paris, and the consensus at Trellon is that we wish it never had to end. Many of the members of our team have been going to Drupalcons for a long time, and this was definitely one of the most memorable ones on record.
